Let it Snow

6122008

Don’t attempt to adjust your computer screen. We control the vertical. We control the horizontal. For all you Californians, that’s snow falling on Bull Runnings, courtesy of WordPress’s extras. You guys out there get great big giant fake breasts, we here in Pittsburgh get snow. I for one am glad for it, ’cause if it was the other way around shoveling my driveway would be a real bear.

Harry, That’s cool! I need to look at those WordPress extras. You guys getting real snow up your way today. Looks like it here and we might get some light now later today. I’m betting we won’t see our first measurable snow till around 12/22 down this way.

Looking at the comments dashboard, I don’t see where it allows for that type of formatting. It may be that I just haven’t figured found the right place to look yet.

I do know that, from the comments dashboard, when viewing comments, you can respond directly to a specific comment. However, on the actual post page, the response to a comment does not show up as a thread. It looks just like it did before,

Next WorldPress will offer a gidget to change the size and intensity of the snow seen on your blog. Settings to include:
– Charlie Brown sized round snowflakes.
– Snowflakes replaced by margarita salt for the snowbirds in Florida.
– A dense setting which approximates Lake Effect Snow. But will require an automated “bot” snow blower to keep your home page cleared.
– Yet a higher setting which turns your blog page into the proverbial photo of a polar bear eating marshmallows on an iceberg.
– and just for us Civil War Buffs – a W.W. Loring setting which replaces the snow with minie balls. “Give them Blizzards!”

About

Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section. I'll also post my thoughts on the processes behind the project and commentary on the campaign, but pretty much all things Civil War are fair game. You'll only find musings on my “real job” or my personal life when they relate to this project. My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.

The Project

This site is more than a blog. Bull Runnings also hosts digitized material pertaining to First Bull Run. In the Bull Run Resources link in the masthead and also listed below are links to Orders of Battle, After Action Reports, Official Correspondence, Biographical Sketches, Diaries, Letters, Memoirs, Newspaper Accounts and much, much more. Take some time to surf through the material. This is a work in process with no end in sight, so check back often!
